Chaotic Characterization of Solar Cell Open Circuit Voltage

Authors: Sai Venkatesh Balasubramanian

The fluctuations accompanying the DC offset in a photovoltaic cell open circuit voltage waveform are studied. Nonlinear analyses performed on these waveforms ascertain the presence of a highly unstable chaotic behavior. The results are validated using various parameters such as Kolmogorov Entropy, Fractal Dimension and Lyapunov Exponent. It is observed that the chaotic behavior responds to atmospheric and cosmic disturbances and hence can be used to study such effects. The information and inferences about the chaotic behavior coupled with proper synchronization techniques could potentially lead to cost effective means of enhancing the solar cell output.
